How big do they get?

[Kara]

Since most of you probably haven't seen older short-tailed pythons, here's "Beefcake", a big female Borneo. She'll turn 13 this summer, and is my biggest STP (I do have a female blood that is approx. the same size). With a yardstick, for comparison:

[waltah!]

daaannnnngggg! That's one gorgeous (and huge) STP. Thanks for sharing. It's true that we don't get many chances to see larger adults. Guess it's because they have really just started taking off fairly recently. I'm hopin that maybe someday.......

She's gorgeous...wow...thanks Kara!

OT but I was drooling over the BP pics at nerd.com and was hoping maybe we could see some updated pics of the soul sucker...and I quote: "The Soul Sucker is gaining increased yellow pigmentation as he grows, so keep an eye out for some updated pics shortly!"

I cant wait til my blood gets to be around that size. Adults short tails and bloods look sweet as adults. Great short tail. Looks to be right around 6ft, maybe bigger? Whats the weight on her?
